Secondary Cataract

On Monday, I'll be undergoing this procedure on my right eye — over three years after cataract surgery:

My 1986 experience with posterior capsulotomy was certainly painless and effective. However, seeing and hearing the sizzling inside my head as the capsule burning away was disconcerting. I said, "That sounds like bacon frying inside my head!"

I did have a whopper of a headache for some twenty-four hours and had quite the Draconian schedule with eye drops.

But the results! Stupendous!

I'm looking forward to getting better vision in my right eye. The last several weeks have been tedious as the field of vision on my right has been very cloudy, thus causing eye strain and reduced time on the web.

I'll be thinking about you -- and praying for you, AOW. I feel especially close to your situation, because of the eye problems I told you about the other day.

I wish there were some way you could get some [temporary] help in the home till you have recovered completely. Is that a possibility?

While the YAG laser thing is considered a "minor" procedure, it still puts added strain on you. If I were anywhere near, I'd offer to come over and cook for you and help keep Mr. AOW company. Unfortunately that's not a physical possibility.

Do I hear a sigh of relief coming through the computer? ;-)

Anyway, the very best of luck to you. Just remember "God is our refuge and strength, a very present help in trouble ..." and all will be well.
